Melbourne coach Steven King believes Kysaiah Pickett is only "scratching the surface" of his potential despite the Demons dynamo's transformation into a genuine AFL superstar.
Mostly a damaging small forward who would spend cameos in the midfield early in his career, Pickett has spent far more time in the centre during King's first season in charge of the Demons.
The 25-year-old is coming off scintillating back-to-back best-on-ground performances in wins over Collingwood (28 possessions and three goals) and Essendon (32 and three).
Pickett is just one away from matching his career-best for clearances in a season (66), an indication of the added time spent in the midfield.
"He's definitely a top-five player in the competition," King said of Pickett on Tuesday.
